IUMA: With

Rising from the ashes of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin in 1975, with. has an epic history in rock n' roll. They've done it all from nine platinum albums and twenty-two chart-topping singles, to selling out Wembley Stadium and the Rose Bowl. Guns n' Roses were an early opening act as well as was Jane's Addiction and Tool and Alice In Chains and... Individually, the stories are even better, bigger than life you might say. Brian once smoked hash with Hendrix and was said to have guided him to the foot of the Buddha himself during one trip. Jack, who spent time in Neil Young's Crazy Horse, was kicked out of the band for too much feed back, man! a style Young later claimed for himself. Sonic Youth even named an e.p. after him, Master Dik. Jason who taught second grade astrophysics to the likes of Mike Patton of Faith No More and Lars Ulrich of Metallica has been hiding Syd Barrett in his English cottage ever since Syd went mad over twenty-five years ago. Brad said he learned to play the drums on a Tinker Toy drum on the lap of percussion legend, Buddy Rich, and uh...

Okay okay so that's all bullshit, but with. is really a slammin' hard rock quartet from Minneapolis that spawned somewhere in 1996. There first release, Flicker, brings a new brand of guitar onslaught with torn-edged vocals, 1200 watts of subsonic bass, and thumping drum anthems that you're not to used to hearing from the No Depression friendly Midwestern set. These guys are all piss and vinegar on stage, not to mention rather nice cats when out of uniform. With an explosive live set, Brian can often be found flailing around like a raging invalid playing the with. T.V. along with the songs screw sampling, you never know what this thing will tune into. They have played with national acts Creed, Big Wreck, VAST, and Paw. with. is not too pissed, yet definitely not diet rock; a bit filling, yet they still leave you with that pleasant after-burp and no bad breath! So pull up a chair, tuck a napkin in your collar, and dig in. You can skip grace though.
